• Everyone - Final edits to documents need to be made in Google Drive by May 10th.  
• Elizabeth and Denise – Have draft of website ready for review by committee on May 22nd.

Discussion

• Annual Project – Due May 31st.
• We discussed the possible webpage formats and chose “blinds” over page links.  
• We discussed the sections in the order they will appear on the website and reviewed the comments that Chad, Rachel, and Aaron had made.
• Discussion of whether we need the Library Professional standards page, or should just link to ALA. We decided to keep this page, as it identifies the standards that are directly relevant to this project, and also adds standards from the Medical Library Association.  
• Can we add the book cover images to the books pages? Nestor will check on the rules for book covers.
• Nestor reviewed the status of the copyright requests. We are still missing clearance for one item from Emerald Publishing and are waiting to hear back from Taylor and Francis from another.  T&F want $108 to reproduce their item. Nestor is attempting to explain the project to them and push back on the fee.
• We discussed what to do if we do not receive clearance for these last two items in time – decided we will do a description without providing the actual instrument if necessary.  
• Nestor will need to send the copyright permissions to Elizabeth. We should also add a statement to the Appendix that indicates the items were reproduced with permission, and readers can contact CARLI for additional information.
